Pressure sensor modules optimised for altimeter and barometer applications

TE Connectivity's Measurement Specialties MS5837-02BA06 Pressure Sensor Modules, available now from Mouser, are ultra-small gel-filled pressure sensors optimised for altimeter and barometer applications. The module is a 2bar model that provides better endurance in chlorine environments. These pressure sensor modules provide a robust package, allowing them to resist harsh environments.

This MEMS-based sensor incorporates a high-linearity pressure sensor with an ultra-low-power 24-bit digital output (I2C) and an altitude resolution at sea level of 13cm. This device allows high-resolution measurements such as counting flights of stairs.

Typical application areas include multisport watches, fitness trackers, swim watches, bike computers, mobile altimeter/barometer systems, personal navigation devices, and drones and other autonomous vehicles.
